Default New 800 Series Signature

Recently announced. Gorgeous burl finish but on the fence with metallic blue (Magico’s signature in my opinion). A pretty penny for exclusivity and marketed improvements. $50k USD vs $38k for standard 801D4s. $12k USD vs $8.5k for 805Ds.

For the lucky few…enjoy in good health!

Price increases...what does it mean for the industry when heavy hitters like B&W raises retail prices by double digit points in 2024? This excludes previously raised retail since the D4 series release. No product enhancement other than the Signatures. Parent company, Masimo, acquisition/synergy not going well...

USD Pairs:

801D4 Signatures $50k to $55k...in just 10 months since release?
801D4 $38k to $42k
802D4 $28k to $31k
803D4 $22.5 to $25k
804D4 $14k to $15k
805D4 $8.5k to $9.5k
805D4 Signatures $12k to $13.5k

Earlier this month, news broke that Masimo is spinning off the consumer goods business which includes B&W.
